Look what popped through the letterbox courtesy of Federal Express about an hour ago… Fantastic Four #1 by Dan Slott, Sara Pichelli, and Marte Gracia — with a letter asking me to talk about it Okay First, there are spoilers here Some spoilers, limited spoilers, what I see as managed expectations. Just as people going into Batman #50 and X-Men[...]

I was fine with this book being the Fantastic Four replacement since Marvel wasn't printing the book, but dropping in "Dr Dread" and playing it with a straight face is ludicrous. Terrifics #6 art by Joe Bennett, Sandra Hope, Matt Santorelli, and Hi-Fi Joe Bennett handled the visuals in this issue, and that is a positive[...]

The latest comic to be graced by a Quesada cover is Fantastic Four #1, due out on August 8th, exactly 57 years after the debut of the original Fantastic Four #1 What's old is new again, after all, is basically Marvel's motto. This time, Quesada's variant is a "Hidden Gem," meaning it is "never before seen[...]

His encounter with another Doctor Doom is a good sequence too. The Council of Reeds idea was a brilliant one from Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham's Fantastic Four run I'm glad to see this concept brought back It was interesting and unnerving It showed how close Reed Richards's difficulty connecting with others mixed with his genius intellect[...]

This is just a great read, and I hope it's able to maintain this level of quality going forward, even as the Fantastic Four finally returns Marvel Two-in-One #6 comes highly recommended Give it a read.

To have a completed Marvel Legends Fantastic Four set makes me so happy I never thought this was going to happen, and its not just the team either H.E.R.B.I.E came as a pack-in with Sue, and more Marvel Cosmic characters are on the way to Walgreens as well, with Silver Surfer coming in June[...]

This wipes out a large portion of Earth's heroes, including Gamora, much of the X-Men, Daredevil, Hawkeye, Wasp, the entirety of the Fantastic Four, Luke Cage, the New Warriors, and Alpha Flight. As another means of covering his bases, Odin, Zeus, and many of "All-Father" type gods are trapped in another dimension where they can't interfere[...]

Then again, after todays Fantastic Four news, we really might need DC to fill in that particular gap. Yes, I have criticized Damage for its Incredible Hulk-like qualities, but that book is far less interesting and has almost nothing original to bring to the table Terrifics is different in having its own quirks and being more[...]

Editorial credit: DFree / Shutterstock.com Feige was asked a bit about everything during the spotlight feature, because let's be honest: there's HOW MANY films still on the slate for this phase of the universe alone? Needless to say, it's a lot of ground to cover, so we're going to break up the piece into parts, because[...]

The deal for Disney to purchase the assets of 21st Century Fox, including the movie rights to the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, isn't done yet And while things remain up in the air, Fox has been making power moves which, taken together, seem quite adversarial toward their potential buyers In January, Fox moved up[...]

We mentioned that quite a lot of Fantastic Four collections had been solicited in Marvel's May 2018 solicits after a veritable dearth for months We also speculated as to whether it indicated a thawing of Marvel/Fox relations that was noted both before the announced Disney buyout and afterwards — and whether that meant that a new[...]

According to Eric Mowery at Dave & Adam's: "I started seeing a bump in Fantastic Four #52 a little while ago around the time that movie was announced There was speculation at first (it was pretty similar to the Moon Knight phenomenon) but BP's first appearance and Avengers #87 (his origin) spiked after it was teased[...]
